Some of these donations require less explication than others. When Amazon gives to the "Let's All Keep Electing Republicans PAC", it's pretty clear where they stand.pic.twitter.com/6YBXuCRttL
Amazon gave $2500 to Tennessee representative John Rose's "Republicans Offering Solutions For Everyone PAC" on December 17. Rose voted to throw out the lawful results of the Presidential election on January 6.pic.twitter.com/P1gmNXhTIU
Amazon gave $2500 to Kansas congressman Ron Estes' "Restoring our Nation PAC" on December 17. Estes voted to destroy the nation instead on January 6. Perhaps Amazon could get a refund on this donation, which was substantially not as described.pic.twitter.com/NpB6BXwRjV

Why is it that when we look in the pockets of these seditionists, we find so many checks from Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook and Google? (I covered the other tech companies' support of sedition in an earlier thread https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1356427194810081280 …)
Pinboard added,
There's nothing compelling these tech companies to continue participating in this employee funded form of legalized bribery. Apple and IBM don't have a PAC, and they seem to cling to life despite their refusal to "pay to play". These PACs could (and should) disappear tomorrow

But the tech company leadership knows that they can simply brazen it out. Witness Microsoft president Brad Smith's remarks last month, where he just openly says that his company is paying for access and special treatment by giving to legislatorshttps://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1352487435242926080 …
Pinboard added,
Ultimately, this is in the hands of employees. Workers have the power defund the PAC. The FEC filings are public, and you can talk to coworkers who pay into this corrupt system (by paycheck deduction), and make sure they know where their money went.
[A final technical note on these donations: there's a two year cycle to corporate political giving, which is why so many of the donations in this thread (made after the eleection) were to legislators' leadership PACs instead of individual candidates.
This 2 year cycle also means that promises these companies made to suspend political giving to seditionists are cynical and empty. The period we're in now is the deadest time of the political cycle for corporate giving. The promise to "suspend" for a while means nothing at all.]
